I also decided to repower so that I can get places faster.

Now here is a nice boat if you're considering a circumnavigation.
Who needs those pesky sails?
Ok Commander Pete heres Sirocco`s war time modifications,Also I had to rename her and hire on crew but it was worth it.

I yield to superior firepower.
Say Steve, It seems that I passed you in the number of posts on this Board.
Just because you have Sirocco fully restored doesn't mean that you can rest on your laurels. You need to tear something apart and put it back together again. Maybe build a teak toilet paper holder.
I know I need to do something,unfortunately I already have a teak toilet paper holder.I painted the decks 5 years ago and have done lots of scrubbing since then maybe Ill repaint them this year.I have nothing left mechanical or electrical to do except replace the house battery bank(that wont take long).Sirocco is better equipped than most 35 footers.

Sirocco wasnt always so shiny.Wish they had digitial cameras back then.I have very few pictures of the old Sirocco.

Commanderpete,do you have your boat in the water yet?In another 2 months it will be winter in New York.What about the interior?put some new batteries in your camera and give us some shots ,PLEASE.If not I`ll have to bore everyone with more Sirocco pictures.I havent shown anything on my electrical systems yet,or my cruising adventures on Chesapeake Bay.

Ok this makes 163,I hope someone else starts taking pictures of their boats.I have never seen another Ariel or Commander.

Ah yes. I do detect some subtle improvements between the old and new Sirocco.
As for me, progress has slowed recently, I'm embarrased to say. Other commitments. Contrary to popular opinion, I do have a life.
I should have something to show after this weekend. Got a new 64 picture chip for my camera. Cool.
I sure would like to hear about some sailing adventures.
Actually, Steve, I have a Commander not far from your Ariel (on the hard on the Rhode River) (sorry, no digital camera) but I got so &$%#@ tired of looking at the stunning pictures of your boat, knowing that mine would never look like that, that I went out and got a new (used) boat instead. So, you see, it's probably your own fault that you don't see many other boats or photos.
Al,Rhode River,thats power boat country.I anchored there one night on a recommendation of a friend.Worse anchorage Ive ever had.Power boats and PWC all over the place with their wakes,about flipped by dinghy over.Oh and dont worry Im tired of looking at my boat too and will gladdly takem all off if some of the other 81 members would post some.You dont need a digital camera any film can be put on a cd or floppy real cheap at any place that develops film.Walmart even has scanners at the store so you can scan in your pictures and burn them to a disk.Im tired of Sirocco and would like to buy a Allied Seawind or Westsail 32.

Here's a shot of #45 taken just a few hours ago , just finished installing the new monel water tank in the bilge under the cabin sole . Spent the holiday weekend painting the bilge , inside all the lockers and under the bunks .Then re-installed the lifeline bases .
